1300 Tempera on wood Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona In the mid 13th century a new type of funeral monument appeared in France: a marble or stone tomb on which the figure of the deceased is lying and its sides representing the participants of the funeral procession in reliefs. This type also appeared in Spain, however, corresponding to the local traditions, it was realized from wood with side panels covered by paintings instead of sculptures. The panels shown come from the tomb of Sancho Saiz de Carillo in Burgos. The arrangement of the figures follows the frieze-type. , UNKNOWN MASTER, Spanish , Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo (detail) , 1251-1300 , Spanish , painting , religious

1300 Panel Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona The linear style is remarkable for its subtlety. It is characterized, particularly in northern Spain, by undulating rhythms and a refined color scale. The backgrounds, in which architecture, furniture, and occasionally utensils are schematically represented, are in monochrome, but the figures that occupy the foreground have an expressive humanity, very different from the hieratic formalism of the past. A typical and very ancient example of the calligraphic style is the decoration of the tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carrillo (Barcelona Museum). This comes from Mahamud (Burgos) and marks the beginning of the Gothic style in Castile. , UNKNOWN MASTER, Spanish , Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo (detail) , 1301-1350 , Spanish , painting , religious

1300 Panel Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona The so-called Linear Style of the Gothic painting developed principally in the north of Spain, its straight lines and rigid figurative scheme recalling contemporary Romanesque Apocalypse manuscripts. The row of lamenting women on the ceiling of the tomb, now in Barcelona, of Sancho Saiz Carillo, a nobleman from Burgos, is Gothic only in that the figures are positioned in rows and overlap. The posture and gestures, even the physiognomies, are borrowed from a largely traditional style that still clearly bears signs of the Romanesque. The work's firm lines make it a particularly bold exmple of the Linear Style, which dominated Spanish painting in the years between 1290 and 1350. , UNKNOWN MASTER, Spanish , Tomb of Don Sancho Saiz de Carillo (detail) , 1301-1350 , Spanish , painting , religious
